    Minas Geraes, or Minas Gerais is a Brazilian state.

    Minas Gerais também foi o nome escolhido para um dos navios brasileiros do início do século XX.

    Brazilian battleship commissioned in 1910 and not struck until the end of 1952. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_battleship_Minas_Geraes
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Everyone: Thank you for your comments! While Minas Geraes was the name of this ship and so should remain the spelling in the caption, it makes sense to add the modern spelling of Minas Gerais to the record for those searching by that term. We'll add that when we update the record.

    It's probably a cruiser; it looks a bit small for a dreadnought anyway, and the all big gun nature of the armament would rule out a pre-dreadnought battleship.

    Well, sadly it's not HMS King Edward VII, whose sailors we encountered before here. But similar - spot the differences ...
  • derangedlemur said:
    Actually, maybe it is a pre-dreadnought. It looks quite like HMS Goliath. Or HMS Formidable. Edit: Or indeed quite a large number of late pre-dreadnought classes. e.g. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/HMS_Montagu_%...

    Looks like it was moored somewhere around here
